WOW!

I never got "leading from behind" as an expression of queer leadership. Obviously he is guided by his derriere into political as well as sexual conflagrato.

It is not healthy to the spirit to read the posts of the ravenous fictioneers, but responding only fuels their evil spirits.

ALL our US networks employ hordes of fictioneers—producing lots and lots of lying propaganda. And all the millennials—among others—eat it up and spew it back out!

But if you want REAL news—you have to search very hard on the Internet!!!!

Home for lunch, then I’m off to collect from the customer whose job we finished on Wednesday...

Most of today’s reporters
Are not reporters at all
They are just fictioneers
Good at being able to stall

At answering hard questions
They never, ever get tough
With their liberal masters-
They just write stupid fluff

Like Hillary’s VRWC theory
They are too far out to be
Anything but a sci-fi script
For aanother series on TV...

What I find disgusting is those on the left who openly distain religion of any sort, but praise the Pope when he says something they can work to their own views.

On a totally different note: my husband took me to lunch so we could drive over the Brazos River and see how high it is.... flood warnings all over the county - and it definitely is high!
